> The paper is well written and addresses an important problem of reuse of semantic  markup and schema discoverability. Howewer, this paper almost completely lacks any novelty or even a technical element. It reads like an advertisement for schema.org aimed at the general public. It is unclear from the paper what is the relation between http://bioschemas.org to schema.org. I am wondering if the paper should not actually be about http://bioschemas.org rather than schema.org?

In the present form, the paper is a naive presentation of author opinions/feelings based on a limited (even if encouraging) experience. Some experimental data would be appreciated to show the concrete benefits of adopting microdata in a research context in comparison with a traditional approach.

> The paper generally discusses advantages and drawbacks of using schema.org. The need for effective search engines for research datasets is emphasized. Discoverability problems stem from the lack of metadata, therefore the authors argue that schema.org can be applied as a remedy.
> The problem is important and relevant but the approach in the paper does not introduce anything new. The authors point at missing vocabularies at schema.org, which can be extended in various ways. The paper missed the opportunity to present Bioschemas; it could be a nice addition for the ESWC conference as a poster.
